Wow! It’s just like Quicksilver only without Kevin Bacon or a hotdog stand. I’ve only watched one movie so far, The Bronx Race, but if the other videos of New York bike messengers are anything like that one, then I have to say that these guys are completely and totally nuts! This dude almost gets [...]

I went to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles today. My main goal was to take Pictures of Butterflies. The Pavilion of Wings was OK. It was a little smaller than I expected. I don’t know why I assumed there’d be some giant field with wild butterflies everywhere, but it’s basically just a tiny [...]

You know, if I was better at spelling and word games and such, I bet I could break out of the middle of the pack on a game like WEBoggle. It’s fun though.

You know that feeling when you’re with a group of friends, particularly friends you haven’t seen in a while, and you feel kind of disconnected [...]

I imagine you’ve all already seen it by now, but in case you haven’t, Subservient President is funny.

Warren Buffett offers an interesting idea to curb the USA trade deficit. I doubt it would happen — certainly not in our current climate. The problem as I see it is that US politics doesn’t reward long-term thinking. I don’t know how you change that. I’m sure that we should though.
